Chpters 35 N 35 Final Chpters Of Radiology Flashcards
Periodontal ligament space
Normal periodontal ligament space appears as a thin radiolucent line
Lamina dura
The lamina dura of teeth appears as a dense radiopaque line around the roots.
Generalized
Bone lose occurs evenly throughout the dental arches with more than 30% of sites involved
Bone lose Canberra classified as
Slight moderate or severe.
The severity of bone lose is measured by the
Clinical attachment loss ( CAL)
Moderate bone lose
3 to 4 mm
Type II bone lose
Mild or slight , mild crestal changes
Calcules
Is a stone like concretion that forms on the crowns and roots of teeth due to calcification of bacterial plaque.
Calculate acts as a
Contributing factor to periodontal disease
Root fractures
occur most often in the maxillary central incisor region. Less common than crown fractures and result from an accident or traumatic blow
Jaw fractures
Occurs more often than any other bone of the face. Frenguently as a result of assaults accidents or sports injury.
For the evaluation of mandibular fractures a
Panoramic image is recommended
Luxation
The abnormal displacement of teeth. Can be categorized as intrusion or extrusion
Intrusion
Abnormal displacement of teeth into the bone
Extrusion
abnormal placement of the teeth out of bone
Teeth that has been luxated should be examined for
Root and adjacent bone fractures, damage to the periodontal ligament , and pulpal problems
Avulsion
Complete displacement of tooth from the alveolar bone.
Physiologic resorption
A process that is seen with the normal shedding of primary teeth.
Pulp obliteration
Does not appear to have a pulp chamber or pulp canals, these teeth are none vital and do not require treatment.
Obliteration of the pulp cavity can be a result from
Attrition , abrasion, caries dental restorations trauma abnormal mechanical forces. A irritant That has acted stimulated the production of secondary Denten
Pulp stones calcifications that are found in the pulp chamber or canals of teeth appear as
Round radiopacities.may conform to the shape of the pulp chamber or canal do not require treatment.
Periapical cyst ( radicular cyst )
A lesion that develops over a long period of time. Results from pulpal death and necrosis.
Periapicle cyst
Most common of all tooth related cysts and comptise50 to 70 % of all cyst in the oral region.
Periapicle abscess
Localized collection opus in the periapicalregion of the tooth that results from pupal death
